is verj' much iu evidence when you piuclt the 

 little blossom from the stem and draw it 

 through your teeth, just as we used to do 

 with the June clover to extract the sweet 

 from that. My theory is, that the alsike and 

 white clover, which blossom here the same 

 time that the .ilfalfa does, being a regular and 

 familiar plant, draws the entire attention and 

 energy of the bees to them. These two plants 

 ■j'ield more honey, too. I think, than the alfalfa 

 contains. The piece of alfalfa I referred to 

 substantiates the statement made by "A 

 Member ''in the convention discussion; for 

 most of this Held is made up of hill, side-hill, 

 gully, and low spots. The heaviest plant 

 yield is on the slopes in the lightest soil, 

 mostly gravel. The heaviest soil (clay) and 

 the low spots have very little of the plant- 

 growth. J. H. Davis.

Honey Crop a Total Failure. 



The honey crop is a total failure to date. It 

 rains all the time, and bees can not get any 

 honey, and the clover and raspberry bloom 

 are nearly gone. A. W. Smith.

A Deaf Lad and the Bees. 



Some days ago a deaf friend of mine and 

 his wife came to my house for dinner, as did 

 several other deaf people. The friend told a 

 story on himself, which is too good not to 

 pass on. 



When he was a lad of 12, up in Michigan, he 

 saw a man selling bees by the pound, and 

 having a crowd around him. The man, after 

 '•working his jaw " presumably on the in-

 5x6^ inches, bound in paper cover — gives 

 somewhat of an insight into a little of the 

 hard lot of the poor. Price, postpaid, only lu
